In recent times so much has been happening in the World of Vitiligo. Its really a welcomed development as clinical and psychosocial Research continues in different parts of the World, more and more Dermatologists picking interest in Vitiligo, starting support groups for patients as well.

As that continues, we the Patient leaders are working from our different regions and countries to bring support groups together for more impact and for recognition due Vitiligo from the medical/health community. Truly, so much of what we Patient leaders desire cannot happen until we work for it.
